Jutlandic dialect

Jutlandic or Jutish (Danish: jysk; pronounced [ˈjysɡ̊]) is the western dialect of Danish, spoken on the peninsula of Jutland.

Generally, the eastern dialects are the closest to Standard Danish, while the southern dialect (Sønderjysk) is the one that differs the most from the others, therefore it is sometimes described as a distinct dialect, thus Jutlandic is by that definition actually two different dialects: general Jutlandic (nørrejysk; further divided into western and eastern) and Southern Jutlandic (sønderjysk). However, the linguistic variation is considerably more complicated and well over 20 separate minor dialects can be easily found on Jutland. This map shows 9 larger dialectal regions which will be discussed in this article. There are major phonological differences between the dialects, but also very noteworthy morphological, syntactic, and semantic variations.

Subdialects

The different subdialects of Jutlandic differ somewhat from each other, and are generally grouped in three main dialects.
